Bookworms! What's the best book you've read?

[Bogeyman]

Two books I enjoyed reading (and don't mind reading over and over):

Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder (1991) --> philosophy lessons disguised as a novel.

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues by Tom Robbins (1976) --> old title, but one that I still find hilarious to this day. Since the copy I got was missing the last couple of chapters or so, I never got to know how the story ended. Naghahanap tuloy ako ng kopya sa mga second-hand book stores.

Aztec (i forgot the author) - - - maybe this was where Mel Gibson got his inspiration in doing apocalypto. .

old books by stephen king - before he got bitten by the commercialism bug.

The Bourne Trilogy - better to read the books before watching the movie.

[mazingerZ]

I forgot to mention "In the name of the Rose" - - which is a good book with a good movie adaptation starring Sean Connery.

Give some books na sa tingin nyo worthwhile basahin

2 books that I never get tired reading again and again

1. House on Garibaldi Street - the true account of how Mossad capture Adolf Eichmann in Argentina, no James Bond like scenario, just pure unadulterated intelligence job/operation on how Eichman was identified and eventually led to his capture. The author of the book is the chief and considered father of modern Mossad himself, Isser Harrell, he himself led the operation in Argentina.

2. Spymasters of Israel - basically this book tells the story of how Mossad came to be, from its early days before the eruption of WWII when they were smuggling Jews into Palestine from Europe up to the early '80s Mossad. This book is a collection of the greatest operations of Mossad including their failures as the organization was maturing.

I love Finnegan's Wake by James Joyce and A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. I also invented the wheel and I am also the queen of England. hehe.

Seriously, I enjoyed reading Douglas Coupland's Generation X. The guy is a pop culture expert.
